About 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Toledo officers responded to a brief chase of two men over a suspected stolen vehicle at Varland Avenue and Woodville Road. Marshall and a passenger then fled the car and ran into the vacant Earl Street home and were followed by police. Marshall shot a police dog, and a police officer, Officer Simon Urbina, fired back and struck Marshall, according to police.

Chief Kral also gave more information about Falco, the police dog that was killed. Falco joined the Toledo Police Department in August, 2014.

The dog was not wearing a protective vest when it was sent into the abandoned house’s crawlspace where the suspect was hiding, but Chief Kral said that due to the nature of his injuries, a vest would not have prevented his death. The dog had not yet been fitted for a vest, a process that happens when they are completely grown.

Chief Kral thanked the community for their support following the dog’s death, saying “overwhelming doesn’t even cut it.”

How fucked up is it than an animal is more human than than the "human" mongrel that killed it? This good dog has done more good in his life and will be more missed than the REAL animals who don't know how / refuse to behave like decent members of society.
